“When I get in my car every day to go somewhere, I put my seatbelt on… Same thing with being online.

Agentic AI: Redefining Fraud Defence
"The main thing that agentic AI is going to be good at is pulling together data from multiple sources… metadata, images, device intelligence, and reconciling it to spot subtle fraud signs humans might miss.”As fraud grows more sophisticated, financial institutions are turning to agentic AI: systems that don’t just analyse data, but act on it to detect and prevent fraudulent activity at scale.In this episode, we explore how these AI agents are reshaping compliance and fraud prevention, and what that means for human oversight and operational efficiency.Our special guest this week is Will Lawrence, CEO and co-founder of Greenlite AI. He shares insights on how his company’s AI agents tackle high-volume fraud, reconcile unstructured and structured data, and free investigators to focus on high-risk, complex cases.From false positives and synthetic identities to regulatory compliance and emerging fraud vectors, this conversation highlights how businesses can adopt AI responsibly while maintaining trust and accountability in their operations.Sumsub's website: sumsub.comSumsub’s What The Fraud Summit: https://sumsub.com/wtf-summit/Sumsub's LinkedIn: linkedin.com/sumsubSumsub's Instagram: instagram.com/sumsubcomSumsub on X: x.com/SumsubcomSumsub's YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@sumsubcomThomas Taraniuk on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/tomtaraniukWill Lawrence on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lawrencewill Hosted on Acast.
